Step out of the front door and you’re in the heart of the village, yet at the rear lies 4,500 sqm of idyllic outdoor space, including ample terracing and a private swimming pool, screened by traditional stone walls giving a delectable sense of seclusion.

The entire plot is approved for development, but the current owner has opted to retain the feel of a peaceful country retreat, cultivating traditional almond, olive and fruit trees (including orange, lemon, date palm, persimmon, grape vines and more).

The property comprises two buildings. The main house (450 sqm) is built on lower ground with direct access from the village. The annex (116 sqm) stands at a higher elevation, easily reached from the main road.

Among its many striking features, the main house benefits from thick stone walls that shield it from the summer heat. The inner courtyard is the soul of the property, with an exquisite quality of midday light streaming through the pyramidal glass dome.

There are two fireplaces, one in the smaller sitting room and one in the main living space, as well as a wood-burning stove in the interior courtyard.

The eight charming bedrooms are all outer facing, with balconies or large windows sporting period iron grilles. There are also five full bathrooms.

The layout creates a choice of spaces in which to enjoy this exceptionally tranquil home, complemented by wrap-around terracing.

The property also boasts a fully restored 17th-century wine cellar, utility room and storeroom, and is equipped with Wi-Fi, an indoor sound system and two solar panels for water heating.

The annex is a newly built property and perfect for guests, household staff or perhaps as a studio. It too has a generous upper terrace with spectacular mountain views.

This is a truly extraordinary and versatile property, beautifully presented and ready to welcome its next lucky owner.
